In the PC and IOS version of Dead Mans Draw, it does not seem like it carries over the penalty of drawing a kraken.
If you play with the Krakens force you to draw 4 cards, or of opponent has the beast master card.
If you draw your 1st card and its a Kraken, your required to make 4 card moves.
If you happen to draw a mermaid and do not have the "automatically bank all mermaids" card i.e. cassinova then you are forced to move the kraken to the front.
the original kraken by the mermaid showing up was requirement 1 of 4 card draws or moves so your down to 3 moves left.
by the mermaid activating the mermaid suite ability she moves the kraken to the front to activate that fulfills the 2nd of the 4 required moves/cards used.
Since the MOVED kraken is now activated that ADDS 4 more cards or card moves to deal with which at this point should require you to do SIX total not 4 more card actions to do.
The game seems to ignore the previous krakens 2 cards to draw or move, and if you do only just 4 more card draws as usual as if the original krakens requirement were never there to begin with.
I thought about this a while, and thinking about it the way the game plays it seems to act like the next card drawn after the kraken is moved to the front seems to be completing the original kraken as "obligation 3" and also satisfying the kraken that was moved to the front as the 1st obligation of 4.
I hope people that read this understand what I'm saying , but it seems that the next 2 moves if you can do it without busting would be doubling usage, vs just making more cards to do it if the next move does not double down as a move for both instances.
This is a unusal situation to come up but does NOT affect krakens original situation as if this same scenario would come up with a forced 2 card draw of which it would be Kraken, then Mermaid, the very fact that mermaid showed up would be forced card move 1, then when the kraken moves to the front that would fufill the krakens 2nd requirement, then after that the newly moved kraken wold require 2 more cards....
so this only would affect the krakens 4 card move of which the mermaid was forced to chose the kraken....
Anyone else feel the PC game is not doing it right?
